Lyrics

O varium fortune lubricum
Dans dubium tribunal iudicum,
Non modicum paras huic premium,
Quem colere tua vult gratia.
Et petere rote sublimia,
Dans dubia tamen, prepostere
De stercore pauperem erigens,
de rhetore consulem eligens.
Edificat Fortuna diruit;
Nunc abdicat quos prius coluit;

Lyrics translation

O varied fortune slick
Giving no doubt that the tribunal judges,
Not a little groom yourself to this premium,
Whom to worship your wants grace.
And ask for rote sublime,
Giving the doubts, however, prepostere
The shit out of poor lifting,
de rhetore consul choosing.
Edificat Luck in a new;
Now abdicat of whom previously served;
